I expected to be disappointed. I wasn't. They had a silver GT with the red seats on prominent display at Burge Ford in Santa Monica. I sat in that one first and, to be honest, it felt silly. Just overkill. But out on the lot they had a regular V6, black, with black leather inside. Something about the V6 in black. It's just really simple and elegant. I stared at it for ages. It looks great from every angle. I sat in it and just felt... well, I have a 68
289 at home and many times I"ve driven it and wondered what it felt like to drive when it was new. Not just because the car was new, what did it feel like to drive it BACK THEN, when that was the state of the art? Well, as I sat in the black V6 today, and felt the door go "Chunk" as I closed it, with the window ooching up to seal me in... it felt good.I announced to my wife that I want it during dinner. She just chuckled, then looked at me and said "Oh my god, you're serious. You can't buy a Mustang. That's crazy." I just kept staring at her with the wild eyes, saying nothing. She is very upset. We stopped talking about it and she is processing it. I will bring it up again tomorrow. I will own that car.
Jesus, what's wrong with me?
